This was more complicated to set up and harder to use, but it does allow more options. This would not be a one time use app. Students would need to use this all year to become familiar with its features. Each student sets up their own web blog with pictures, format. They can add web sites, comment on each others blogs. Teacher can set up review of blogs and comments before publication. With the set up of their page, the students would feel more ownership, but the teacher would not want to take the time required for the students to set up their preferences without using it for an extended amount of time. The free version only allows 10 users, which would not take care of most classes. The upgrade is $79 per year.
